• No, I understood that.

    I’m just saying that I didn’t even realize that those absolutely trash opinion articles are getting approved despite how fucking garbage they are. I never really thought about it before. I just thought people just kinda wrote whatever within some guidelines.

      You may as well be right. Thinking about how it’s a privately run business, It’s definitely within the realm of possibility and how it’s done in practice. It requires less time/ressources to have your journalists follow guidelines and punish them if they are not within guidlines. Reading the damn thing and haveing a lengthy approval process costs money after all…
